Dude, Where's My TPC-H

I'm a sucker for time travel. And last weekend I watched a movie with a time machine that I had never seen before. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure . . . A very strange movie, but surely most excellent.

Going back in history was what HP did yesterday when they published a new Superdome Itanium TPC-H 1TB benchmark result (1). The result was notable for neither performance nor price performance. IBM hasn't published a result on this very very very small database size for 4 years.
